ROSANNE CASH MARKS CAREER-BEST CHART POSITION WITH DEBUT OF HER NEW ALBUM THE LIST WIDELY ACCLAIMED ALBUM NOTCHES NO. 5 COUNTRY DEBUT & ENTERS THE BILLBOARD TOP 200 AT NO. 22

Riding a wave of critical praise, singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash has achieved the highest chart position of her career with the debut of The List. The album, which Vanity Fair called “superb,” has notched a No. 5 Country debut, and entered The Billboard 200 at No. 22. Her highest previous ranking in the Top 200 was at No. 26 with the album Seven Year Ache in 1981. The List was also No. 1 on Amazon’s Bestseller’s list after its release on October 6, and reached No. 4 on iTunes Top Albums chart.

Inspired by a list of 100 essential country songs given to her by her legendary father when she was a teenager, The List has been garnering rave reviews. Cash has been the subject of features on NPR Fresh Air and Morning Edition, and has performed on NBC’s The Today Show and CBS’s The Late Show With David Letterman. She also kicked off the 30th Anniversary Season of St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn with two sold-out performances of The List, receiving a positive review in The New York Times. Cash will appear on American Public Media’s A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, which will be broadcast live from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN, on October 17.

Check out what the critics have been saying about The List:

“These 12 covers are—by definition and necessity—timeless, and Cash’s performances give them room to breathe and shine.”

—NPR MUSIC

“…an object lesson in inheritance… Ms. Cash has a voice both dark and sweet, with a gentle but reliable vibrato, and she knows how to convey the quiet sting of heartache.”

—THE NEW YORK TIMES

“The disc showcases some of the best singing in Cash’s career.”

—ASSOCIATED PRESS

“How can one not get excited to hear Cash wrap that gorgeous, throaty alto around elite, time-tested material handpicked by the legendary Man in Black?”

—USA TODAY

“…sublime renderings of tunes her dad considered essential American gems. Cash not only infuses love into her delivery on the collection but also proves herself a supreme song stylist.”

—BILLBOARD

“Long revered as a master songwriter, Rosanne is equally talented at reinterpretation, singing with such close-to-the-bone sincerity that you can’t help but think: like father, like daughter.”

—ELLE

“This is very much Cash’s show… ‘The List’ is a testament to both Cash Jr.’s vocal talents and Cash Sr.’s catholic taste.”

—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“…a loving tribute… Cash puts her own spin on these tunes.”

—PEOPLE MAGAZINE

‘”Rosanne Cash is a revelation… Cash’s powerful voice rings out, alternating between country crooner and jazz chanteuse and sometimes, a smoky blues singer.”

—RELIX

“Although meant to honor father Johnny’s musical tastes, The List better serves as an exquisite reminder of Rosanne’s own history of artistic rebelliousness.”

—PASTE

“She brings the wistful mood that’s infused much of her own writing to the material… spare yet elegant.”

—LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Although she’s a gifted songwriter, ‘The List’ is Cash’s first record of covers, and it’s exquisite.”
